22.01.2022 Houston we have landed! One small step for man...

22.01.2022 The word is out!

20.01.2022 That’s one for the calendar two for the show three to get ready lets go go go!

17.01.2022 24/11/20 LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL UPDATE MY GENUINE & AUTHENTIC WEBSITE now UP N RUNNING AND TAKING CALENDAR ORDERS https://lostmanlythenorthernbeaches....com/save-our-freshwate/ CALENDAR UPDATE: AKA GAME OF THRONES! I wish to advise you that my Lost Manly ferry calendar PDF file has been compromised and copied by the company I entrusted to produce it and process the order payments, and are now reselling the same calendars and ideas on their website and contacting my customers offering them a discounted copy of the same calendar using my same ideas, text, captions and phographers without their consent nor mine in an attempt to profiteer from it taking advantage of the distance between us, assuming I am unable to stop it. Very dishonest and unethical to say the least. Please don't panic or fear that you won't get your calendar or that its not going to work out as planned. Once again, I assure you that I am working on putting together a new and improved calendar V2 (removing all traces of reference to his business on the front and back covers) as why would I advertise his business now after what he's put me through? So I'm learning how to edit PDF files as we speak and if anyone can lend a hand with speeding it up message me and see where you can help as learning as I go is time consuming and I just want to get these calendars out for the paid customers first, then setting up shop again with a website and ordering portal will come second. I have some amazing people (other group members) working with me to ensure we get another calendar printed and sent to you asap, so please continue your goodwill and faith and patience in me as we work on fixing this asap. I will have my new website up and running in no time, and you'll have your calendars well before Christmas. A bitter pill to swallow but one that's been an invaluable life lesson. If he contacts you and offers to sell you these calendars please refuse him and let me know asap. He is selling them online his website that he mirrored from mine before shutting mine down as he was hosting my site and I employed his services to build mine also. Please let me know if he contacts you. I've posted a screenshot from the offending website.

16.01.2022 Last change to get your orders in before Christmas. Limited edition. Pivotal moment in our history.

13.01.2022 Now who has the copy right of this maiden voyage? Want your opinion on this...is it still ok or not to apply feminine gender attributes to the ferries or not? Ie ladies of the sea? Her maiden voyage?

07.01.2022 Copying all these great comments into a letter to send Constance and all the decision makers along with my calendar going to print this weekend / send me your c...omment with consent one and all! https://lostmanlyorg.wordpress.com//save-our-freshwater-c/ Just the simple mathematical equation does not make sense. Summer runnings- Freshwater class, 1 boat every 20mins @ 1100 passengers per trip = 3300 passengers per hour Emerald class, 1 boat every 10 mins @ 400 passengers per trip = 2400 passengers per hour Don’t you get it Constance, that’s 900 less passengers every hour! Take that over the whole day = disaster and abuse to the staff Where are all the surfboards, pushbikes, prams, wheelchairs and mobility scooters going to fit when the Emerald class have a full load of 400 passengers? When the wave height reaches 4 metres and above how will the buses cope? Freshwater class can handle up to 8 metre swells. You can only fit 1 gangway safely on the Emerald class except at extreme low tides where gangway angle is dangerous and way beyond safe for an able person, and pretty much in single file, opposed to the superior and safe freshwater class which has both top and bottom ramps which can embark and disembark passengers 8 wide on each ramp. The Emerald class has no orange diamond so good luck keeping to your Emerald every 10 min timetable compounded by slow passenger embarking and disembarking ability. 6 fast ferries will consumer shitloads more fuel than 3 Freshwater class ferries In adverse weather conditions Emerald class = rough, stiff, bumpy and uncomfortable ride up to 4 metre swells Freshwater class under same conditions = smoother, more tender and much more comfortable ride up to 8 metre swells than that of a lighter, thinner and weaker Chinese built catamaran design vessel not capable in half the swell height They tried this same crap with the Supercats and failed, and yes they were warned they would not be fit for that run and here we go again. They never learn from their mistakes. What a joke !!! Matt Lawrence Another bad idea to get rid of these Manly Ferries that can handle busy times in some bad weather too see if the new ones can do the same refurbish the ones you have and save money and many great memories same with buses and trains too easy just to throw away and buy new ones but just think how many Australians and apprentices could be employed refurbishing buses , trains and Ferries like we did once like buses at Roberts road Chullora bus works , Everly street train works and other workshops where they refurbished trains and Balmain to do same to Ferries or partner with other department like cockatoo island just near Drummoyne that has a dry dock to do the main work. You can still do upgrades as they are repaired to keep them up to date with any new ones just think of the jobs not just doing the repairs, but also the jobs making the new parts to refurbish the units big flow on many jobs and Australia can make something again instead of buying them from China and Europe when we can build the same or better here in Australia. At the end of Holden in Australia they were building the best cars for tech and quality in the world at the same price range the VF II was a great car in many ways and just as good as many expensive Imported cars but such a better price the Statesman / Caprice and even the last series of the Holden Cruze were great cars. Tell the govt it is our money that we pay in GST pays for most of the new equipment and their salaries Stephen Budd Ignoring the value there is a relatively miner cost saving by downgrading the iconic Manly Ferries. The blowout cost for the light Rail (Andrew Constance) is $1.6 billion. So for a perspective. 1 million seconds = 11 days 1 billion seconds = 33 years Another mistake, what do you recon? Graham Osborn Send in your intelligent comments for my letter I’m compiling to send with calendars. Copy and share and copy and share each time I update you share, send in comments, I update, it grows, - will keep adding to it with your intelligent comments and you keep sharing it to your reach! People power! Merry Christmas Mr Constance & Co.

07.01.2022 LATEST CALENDAR UPDATE 29/11/20 with the pirate attack on our maiden voyage now behind us, I understand some people’s reluctance to place an order. But I can assure you that is well and truly behind us now and this link is legit to my secure website, so c’mon and order a few calendars for Christmas! Such a great gift for you or your loved ones! I’ve ordered and paid for 500 calendars up front and so far have only received about 200 orders so come on guys what are you waiting... for? Don’t leave me stranded with 300 unsold calendars!!! I’m pouring my heart and soul into this project to support the cause so put your money where your mouth is, as mum would say! Like I did! Kwik Kopy printers at Brookvale said with calendar will be ready for mail out on 15 December and they close for Xmas on 18th so we’re cutting it fine but we scraped through, it was long, it was wide and its straight between the posts!!! So here’s your final chance to get a copy of Lost Manly’s first business venture ‘Save our Freshwater Class Ferries 2021 Calendars’ and what a BAPTISM OF FIRE its been! But what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and I ain’t going anywhere! I hope to make many more calendars each year with different themes related to different topics on point! Lost Manly Save Our Freshwater class Ferries 2021 first and last print run for 2020. High quality offset printing finish, with coated finish on front/back cover for a truly beautiful finish and a practical gift, something to treasure: they will make excellent Christmas and New Years' gifts. I’m really excited about it! We will post it from Brookvale to any address around Australia (postage included in the price), or overseas (extra intl post). So if you order two or more, we can post to each different address you like. Just send me a message once you've ordered and I'll arrange it for you. There's still time to send a Christmas gift to loved ones overseas to arrive in time for Christmas and the New Year!
